When we speak about a film high on technical values and folk/fantasy element, the next name we get into our thoughts is ‘Bahubali.’ In fact, SS Rajamouli conquered the hearts of entire world audience with his magnum opus. Commercial success aside, ‘Bahubali’ made Rajamouli’s name to reverberate across the globe bringing him laurels and a rare recognition.
Traveling on the footsteps of Rajamouli, here is Gunasekhar and his ‘Rudhramadevi’ released amidst high pomp. On every step, Guna faced stiff difficulty from odd comparisons made between ‘Rudhramadevi’ and ‘Bahubali’ which seems to have served a lethal blow. The technicalities and visual extravaganza Guna imagined and implemented for an on screen output is par below in standards relative to Rajamouli.
The main reason why ‘Rudhramadevi’ received at least few good reports from critics and common audience is just because of respect to our Telugu history. Of course, lackadaisical screenplay adopted by Gunasekhar made him fail before Rajamouli approach and adventures.
